I'm getting tired of Egypt. What's the point of putting all these bricks on
top of each other?

I miss the whores of Babylon.

Were that true there'd be so many Mormons Romney would beat Obama by
miles without even campaigning, I don't think Mormons are into mass
procreation. There aren't many Mormans world wide:

I remember how young Carter looked when he assumed the Presidency (I
think he was in his early 50's, but looked much younger than that),
and four years later it looked like he aged about 20 years.

Yes, I remember too. They go in looking young (most anyway) and come out
looking years older.

I saw a very positive TV show about Mormons. It was an episode of South
Park.

And that Mormon Temple Marvelous is pretty fine.

I've driven through Utah several times and visited Salt Lake City
often. It's a super clean city and there's lots to see, only thing
it's near impossible to find an eatery that serves alcohol.

but they get the best medical care... Cheney's on like what-- his 10th
heart attack? And yet keeps going on. Supreme court justices too. I fear
Scalia is going to live forever.... Though I heard him and another
republican on the Court are in their mid 70s, and RBG is 79. So the next
prez, may get to appoint some Supremes next term.

I showed #1 wife while back... She lived in NV for 20 years and has about 2
dozen books on Mormons... She liked it. She says Mormons run NV, even down
to the Boy Scouts.

who does?

I think Obama's strategy was to remain cool and calm, not react to bait,
and remain unaggressive. Aggression is starting to be reviled in
America, thankfully. His flaw was how incredibly slow he spoke while
trying to maintain that tight control.

By contrast, my impression of Romney now is of an emotionally labile
hothead, so Obama achieved that objective, imo. I do not want an
emotional, (over)reactive President.

Remains to be seen whether Obama can add a little speed and emotion
without losing his tight control.

I do not like Romney's wife just based on initial appearances.

I used to do geneaology research at a local mormon church. One day they
forgot I was in the microfilm room and closed the library for the day.
In the hallway they all gathered for some kind of adult baptism
ceremony-it was beyond bizarre. The room it was held in looked like a jr
high janitors closet with this ultra-utilitarian cement block tub built
into the floor that they filled with water and stepped down into while a
zillion men lined up in the narrow hallway outside the room to watch.

Mormons Catholics Jews-their religion defines them-its who and what they
are above all other descriptions. Protestants like Lutherans for
example-their religion is not nearly as internalized.
